Free alternatives to AnyDesk
1 free program that can replace AnyDesk, a pairing checked by Radar's AI reviewer or by Radar.
AnyDesk is a remote desktop program. It lets you see and control another computer over the internet, which is useful for helping relatives or customers, supporting employees and working on your office computer from home. IT support teams and remote workers are its typical users.
Before changing tools, check:
- Both sides need compatible software. If you help other people, they will have to install the new program too, so think about how you will guide them.
- Unattended access: whether you can reach your own machines when nobody is sitting in front of them, and how you set the password or permission.
- Features you use daily, such as file transfer, clipboard sharing, an address book, multiple monitors and mobile devices.
- Network: whether it works through your company's firewall, and whether you want to use a relay server run by someone else or your own.
